7/26 - Other Games

[BCVM22]

Cards blew another one in the 9th.

 

There's definitely some irony in a guy like Fernando Tatis homering to tie a game against a team like the Cardinals. Scrub vs. Scrubs.

Cards blew another one in the 9th.

 

it's kinda fun watching the back of their bullpen torpedo the season that's being propped up by that overachieving bunch of a-holes.

 

btw, fernando tatis hit a game-tying homer in the 9th. he's had like 3 or 4 huge hits in the past month... what a weird career resurrection.

On to the 12th in Shea....

[Butterscup1679666578]

The Cards make more diving catches on sinking liners than anyone. It's amazing, actually.

though in the case of ankiel, it's probably because he horribly misread the ball off the bat and is forced to make the diving catch. everyone has such a boner over his outfield arm that they forget that he costs them way more runs with his reads than he gets back with a strong arm.

It's true. I watch my fair share of STL games and it's hilarious how much the announcers go crazy for his arm but you'll always see him screw up some relatively easy fly balls because of his routes.

 

Also, Cards just got a huge break on a terrible call by the first base ump.

delgado is up to 22 homers now? about a month ago he looked completely cooked. guess he had an edmonds-like turnaround.

i hate ankiel more than anyone in baseball, so watching fly balls hit over his head is one of my favorite things in the game right now. usually it involves (a) starting in toward home plate, (b) turning and running frantically away from home plate, looking for the ball, © turning and looking over the other shoulder while running a zig-zag pattern, then (d) missing the ball by a few feet while The Best Fans in Baseball applaud him for his supreme effort to make the catch.

[TruffleShuffle]

now the bases have been walked loaded... would've been nice if the first base ump didn't have his head up his ass on the endy chavez ground "out"

[Butterscup1679666578]

wow, great patience on some close pitches by the mets this inning.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

bases juiced and 2 out for the mets

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Mets 1 for 16 with RISP....on to the 13th.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lame.

[TruffleShuffle]

5 walks in 2 innings by this pitcher, 0 runs allowed :roll:

 

i wanted tatis to hit a walkoff grand slam, but just run into the dugout after touching third. walkoff triple for the cycle!

[ELCABALLO45]

Top of the 13th they go.

 

Carlos Delgado is amazing right now.

[Butterscup1679666578]

game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pujols with a 2-run bomb. :x

[UMFan83]

Pujols 2 run HR. Cardinals up 10-8. 3 Games up on a playoff spot.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why would you even pitch to Pujols in such a situation? Morons.

2004, here we come.

Especially since Tatis once was a great beneficiary of Cardinal Magic before it became in vogue.

I'm pissed off, but I'm still not worried. I don't know why not, because I should be. I keep feeling like the next 6 or 7 game win streak is around the corner. It'd be nice if it started in Milwaukee.

[ELCABALLO45]

Pujols might have a future in this baseball thing

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And now the Cards win...damn.

[TruffleShuffle]

skip schumaker had 6 hits... yes, skip schumaker.
